Will Parry

[Will sounds tired and strained with the return of all the crazy Barge stuff, and anyone who's seen him around recently would notice he is extremely jumpy and stressed out, as is Kirjava. The cat especially is pretty freaked out, and Will's been carrying her around instead of letting her walk with him like usual.]

I suppose having a decent port with no strings attached was too much to ask for.

[Private to the Admiral]

Assuming you still give a damn, whoever you are, David's powers need to be taken away.

[Private to David]

We need to talk.

[Private to Martha]

I think I'm going to need more of that sleep potion until whatever this is stops.

[Private to Tim]

Since when is Rachel Berenson on board?

There are plenty worse places we could have turned up. I'm not sure why everyone seems so upset about it.

[Private to the Admiral]

Please change David's room to the one he's familiar with, from back home. His old bedroom.

[Private to David]

I've asked the Admiral to change your room back, and I'd like to have a discussion with you about a few things. Would you like to go up to the CES to talk about it?

There was a concept a friend of mine introduced me to about how humans can be represented by animals, based on certain aspects of their personality or character. Like, a secretive person might be some sort of phasmid - a stickbug - or an animal that looks like it's poisonous, but isn't. I almost wonder if those who were affected by the flood followed that pattern at all.

... Obviously it wasn't true for everyone who was affected, but it's an interesting concept to think about.

[Private to David]

How are you?
